I totally forgot!!!

Today is the finale to the mini series “The Starter Wife”.  A sad thing (it seems that everything I love has a very short life span), but I’m dying to see how it ends.  I’m so hooked on this thing, it’s not funny.  I would love for it to become a regular show, but I know the whole premise wouldn’t allow for one.  Anyway, it’s on in a mere 30 minutes…whoo hoo.  Dinner tonight is frozen pizzas or something quick..I’m not cooking, that’s for sure.

Sniff, only 88%?

Maybe I’m not as much of a geek as I thought I was?

Has anyone noticed the lines of people all over the United States that are forming for an iPhone?  Is it me, or does this seem a bit excessive?  I struggle with justifying the 300.00 phone that I own.  Yes, I do make good use of all the features it offers, like email, web, pictures, phone, mp3 player and the other myriad of things.  I didn’t pay full price for it that was for sure, but still you get the idea.

I just don’t get why people are willing to sacrifice their plans (and most will have to pay a penalty to cut it short) and then spend 500.00 on top of that for a version 1 of something that we all know will be upgraded in anywhere from six months to a year?   Yeah, It’s cool, and yeah, I would love to have one. I have toyed with the idea, yes.

Why I’m not getting an iPhone?

1. It’s 500.00, that is roughly 95% of my tutition this summer.
2. I love my wireless carrier and dont’ want to change.
3. Americans have enough of a pr problem about our gross waste and abuse of everything and how we have to have bigger and better..why perpetuate that?
4. I would rather take my 500.00 and donate it to helping Annie Modesitt’s family. Her husband has cancer and they need all the help they can get.

There are more reasons “why not”, but I’m tired and those are the most important four.

I just can’t justify it beyond my love of gadgets.  Oh, I would totally like to be able to justify it, but alas, I can’t.  Sigh.  So, I will live with the one I have, which is a great phone and offers great service.

If it’s not broken, don’t fix it. (although I do have a 250.00 credit on my account so I might upgrade my phone in a bit.)

I’m bored

I’m beyond bored!!!  Class is horribly hot and the subject matter is going horribly slow.  I hate when I totally get something, but no one else gets it?  Gah.  I’m working on tonight’s homework and half way listening and I’m falling asleep.  Snore.   I think it’s just between the heat and the lack of interest that’s putting me to sleep.

I’m going home today and taking a nap!!!
